Hybrids

For the most part, the large majority of Races across Eternia are capable of having children with each other with varying levels of success. However, the ability for them to reproduce and the exact success rates depends on the Races of the individuals involved; for example, an Orc has a higher chance of having a child with another Strongbuild compared to a Faery, and the opposite is the case for a Race like Elfs. Alongside that, Bloodstone and Angelite Elfs are also incapable of reproducing outside of their Race, though all other Elfs can.
Most Races find it the easiest to have children with a member of the same Major Class. The Eternian Archives have established a general rule when it comes to having mixed children: two members of the same Major Class will normally be able to reproduce, a Channeler having a child with either a Mundane or a Fey is difficult but still posible, and a Mundane and a Fey having a child is near-impossible and rarely ever documented. Notably, while not guaranteed, a child who is a mix of 2 different Major Classes has a higher chance to be infertile and suffer from certain genetic disorders.
Notably, while Sub-Races are capable of mixing, the actual Races cannot. Instead, the individual will inherit their Race from the birthing parent, with the inheritance of minor characteristics from the other parent(s) involved - if a male Elf and a female Orc had a child, for example, then they would be an Orc with some traits taken from the father. While true Hybrids cannot be created in Eternia, there are some groups of Peoples who have experienced enough Extraracial interbreeding that they are, for almost all practical terms, a brand new Race. Some Races, such as Nereans, have even been believed to have started out as a product of this.
